LAW INT: IGENCE—(This Day.) COURT OF DIVORCg. (Before the Judge Ordinary ) CRETWYND V. CRETIVYND —CONTEMPT OF COURT. This was a suit instituted by the wife for dissolution of marriage on the ground of adultery and cruelty. A rule nisi had been obtained for an attachment against a Mr Muloch, an elderly gentleman of some standing and posi tion in the county of Stafford, Inr contempt of Court, in writing a letter to the petitioner, Mrs Chetwynd, dated the 16th of July, threatening that unless she discontinued pro ceedings in this case against her husband on or before the 20th inst., he would publish, on his own responsibility, all the partinularn he knew of her case, accompanied b y a statement of her career both before and after her marriage. M r M uloch a few days ago appeared in court, and, after having entered at great length the Judge Ordinary ordered him to refrain from Publishing. such a statement, but Mr Muloch still refused, and he was ordered to a:tend in court to-day. The learnsd judg e at great length expressed his opinion that, according to the authorities on the point, Mr Muloch had been guilty of a contempt of Court, and he therefore fined him £3OO, but directed, at the same time, that the fine was not o he enforced until next term, during which period Mr Muloch Would have an opportunity of reflecting upon his POSi' ` k n. At that time he should be quite ready to hear any statement that might be made for the reduc tion OF th e fine, but during that period, if Mr luloch did anything to the prejudice of Mrs Chetwynd he would be liable to a further fine or imprisonment. Air Nrulock then left the court with his friends. ( before a Special Jury.) CODRINGTON V.

No damages were asked for by Admiral Codrington. 141'. Bovill, Q.C., opened the case for the petitioner, and at great length detailed the circumstances of the marriage, W hich took place in 1849, and he then proceeded to enter *Pell minutely into the facts of the case, and he told the .inrY he thought he should place before them such evidence that would leave on their minds of the truth of the allege. b one of the petitioner.

MARLBOROITGII-STREET. ►SINGtiLAR CHARGE—SUPPOSED BuitaLAßT.—Peter Selby Moss, a young man described as a watchmaker, of Oldham-street, Manchester, was charged before Mr. Knox with burglariously breaking and entering the house 43, Wardour-street. Mr Nicholas Riddall, a lodger in the house, said—About halt-past two o'clock this morning I was disturbed by hear ing a noise in the house, and on going out of my room on to the first floor landing I found the prisoner trying to en ter another room. The prisoner seeing me held up his hands, which were both bleeding, and then fell on his knees, exc l a i m i ng , "Save me I" and saying that he had come to the place for protection. I went down stairs and found the fanlight had been broken, and then sent for an officer. Mr Knox—What size is the fanlight, and is it easy to get at ? Mr Itiddal!—The fanlight is very small, and it is wonder ful how the prisoner got through, The glass was broken atd also some of the woodwork, and the prisoner must have climbed up by means of the knocker, there being marks on the door. Sergeant Glass, 3 C—l wish to state that yesterday morn ing the prisoner was seen by a constable in Oxford-street, and on the constable, it being at an early hour, asking him what ho was about, ho said that he had come from the country and some men were following him about. Harrold, 207 C—l was called to 43, Wardour-street, this morning, and found the prisoner on the landing of the first floor. On asking him why h 3 came there, he said for pro tection from thieves. I took tie prisoner to the station, and he said he lived at Oldham-et:vet, Manchester. Barns, the gaoler—Both tll3 prisoner's hands are cut. Sergeant Glass—On Bearding the prisoner some watch keys were found upon him, brt not a farthing in money, Prisoner—l had a dispute vith my family, and left home in a passion. Mr Knox—There is more in this than meets the eye. I will remand the prisoner fora week, and leave the matter in the hands of the sergeant, who can communicate with the police at Manchester. It is no burglary, it is evident. The prisoner, who is a respectable-looking young man, was then remanded. THAMES. A RUFFTAN PROPERLY PUNISIIED.--DORRiEI Connor, an Irish coal-whipper, was brought before Mr Paget, charged with committing a violent assault on Police-con stable Reid, No, 66 11, in the Leman -street station-house, Whitechapel. Last night a police-constable, named Thomas Paine, 94 H, took the prisoner into custody for striking a German in his presence, and escorted him to the station•honse. While stating the charge the prisoner deliberately struck Reid, who was standing by, on the mouth, and knocked him down. The constable's motth was swollen and injured. Mr Paget asked the constable if he had anything to do with the charge against the prisoner, Reid—Nothing at all, sir. • Mr Paget—Only standing by and :ooking Reid—That is all, sir. Mr Paget—And not on police duty ? Archcr, an older police-constable, 101 H, here said—l beg pardon, air, the constable was on duty; he was the reserve man on special duty in the station-house. There is a reserve man on duty In every station-house in the metropolitan police district day and night. The prisoner muttered that he was drunk last night, and knew nothing about the matter. He never saw the con stable before. Mr Paget—And you strike him a cowardly blow in the station-house without the semSlance of provocation. Reid—The prisoner struck me with a belt four months' ago, and Mr Partridge then let him go on his paying ss, and in default 14 days imprisonment. Mr Paget—Did he pay the Hat 3 Reid—Yes, he did, sir. Mr Paget said the prisonershould not have the opportu nity of paying any fine now. The prisoner had committed a most dastardly assault on a pollee constable, and the sen tence was that he be impriscred for two months and kept to hard labour. ]MARKETS.-This Day. MARK-LANE. The supply of English wLeat on sale here to-day was moderate. The trade, generally speaking, was rather quiet; nevertheless, previous quotations were supported. The market was fairly supplied with foreign wheat. In most descriptions a very moderate business was transacted at the rates current on Mondry. Floating cargoes of grain were in moderate request at late rates. There was rather more foreign barley on offer, and the barley trade ruled quiet at barely stationary prices. The malt trade was steady at previous quotations.' The supply of oats on sale was large. Both English and foreign descriptions met a slow sale, and prices ruled, in some instances, the time in firrour of buyers. Beans and peas are very firm, with an upward tendency in prices. For flour there was a moderate inquiry, at late rates. ARRIVALS TVs w iLE.K . Wheat. Barley, Malt. Oats. Flour. English 650 2,040 1,190 390 Irish Foreign 17,630 3,470 26,760 brls. 30,540 340 sks.

BOWYER gave notice that early next session he would move for leave to bring in a bill regarding the Inns of Court, with a view to provide against certain diffi culties which found their way into the bill of the present session. THE PARLIAMENTARY WAR. Mr D. GRIFFITH gave notice that on the standing orders next session he would move that the fees of Parlia mentary counsel be regulated in accordance with the fees of counsel in common law and equity. THE NEVI CANON OF WESTMINSTER. In answer to a question from Mr H. SEYMOUR, Mr BARING said he believed the salary of Mr Con way, the new canon of Westminster, would be £l,OOO a year, but the whole question was under consideration, as the canon would be ex-officio rector of St. Margaret's. . THE CHURCH IN IRELAND. Mr H. SEYMOUR gave notice that early next session he will move for a Royal commission to inquire into the resources of the Church in Ireland. MEXICO. In reply to Mr KINGLAXE, Mr LAYARD said the French troops were in possession of several places in Mexico. It was difficult to say whether for a long time past any Government had been in possession of the republic. It had always been the practice to recog nize the tie facto Government, and the Archduke Maxi milian was in the possession of the capital. RAILWAYS CONSTRUCTION FACILITIES BILL.

Mr HENNESSY moved for a return of the number of persons convicted in Dublin and the county of Dublin of using or having in their possession any false or unjust weights, measures, or balances for the year ending the 25th day of March, 1864, showing.the nature and extent of such inaccuracy, the business carried on by the offender, and the date when the offence was committed, distinguishing between offences committed in any shop, warehouse, or other premises, and those committed in the public streets er other open places ; also the amount of the penalty and costs in each case imposed, and whether any such weights, measures, or balances were seized and condemned, and how the said, penalties, costs, and articles condemned were dirposed of.—Agreed to, EMIGRATION (AMERICA). Lord E. HOWARD called attention to the subject of emigration to the United States of America, in reference to the prolongation of the war now raging in that country, The gravity of the subject would be his justification for bringing forward the subject at that late period of the ses sion. In consequence of his position as a member of the distress relief committee at Glossop, one of the towns most affected by the cotton distress, he found it became necessary to have a census made of the population in that district, and one of the elements of that census was the question of emigration, He found that a large emigration had prevailed from that district, and in the course of the inquiry he disco vered that it was also large from the cotton districts in gene ral. In k 2 towns taken promiscuously from the cotton dis tricts—he did not know that they were the largest towns— and in the course of a few months, setting aside single men, of married men not less than 1,460 had left this country for the United States, of whom not less than 780 had deserted their wives, leaving 2,160 persons chargeable upon the rates. Besides that, he had the names of fourteen persons who had emigrated from one locality in Manchester within three months, and of these not less than twelve had deserted their wives and families, and probably most of these were young and newly-married men. These circumstances showed that there must be EOM deep cause at work. It would not meet the argument to say that these men had emigrated intending afterwards to send for their wives and families, because they knew that there had been instances in which the manufacturers of America had sent for manu facturing hands from England, paying the expenses of the voyage for themselves and their families, the agreement being that this amount was to be deducted afterwards from their wages. He had further to say that great caution was exercised by those agents who took these people out of the country, for they did not give written documents or money until the emigrants were safe on board the vessels which were to convey them to America. He would instance another case, which showed how these emigrants were dis posed of when they reached the other side of the Atlantic. He had a letter in his hand relating to the ease of a man who was a private in the Manchester volunteer, This letter was written by an officer of that corps, who stated that a young man in his company had been decoyed to New York. A companion of his had seen an advertisement in a newspaper stating that young men were wanted in Canada, and that they would have permanent employment at the rate of 353 per week. An interview took place between this young man and his agent, and the young man agreed to go. The statement made was, that on ar riving in Canada employment would be obtained imme diately. On this understanding six men were induced to go. On arriving at Liverpool conveyances were waiting to take them to the ship. On getting on board the Virginia they found that this vessel was bound for New York, but they were told that on their arrival there they would be reshipped for Canada, When they arrived at New York they were provided with refreshments, and they were told that they would be conveyed to Long Island. On their arrival there two of the men enlisted at once; this young made his escape, and succeeded in getting into the hold of one of the Cunard steamers; and on his arrival at home declared himself " a miserable victim of Yankee rascality." Nor was that a solitary instance. There was a case now before the Foreign-office in which a man named Macartney was landed at New York with a letter for £lO. He was drugged, robbed, and, while in a state of stupefaction, enlisted into the Federal navy. Ha was not enlisted voluntarily. He believed that on all the large passenger ships sailing from Liverpool agents of the Federal Government wore on board with the view of recruiting young men. He was told of such a case two days ago in which an emigrant was treated by a person on board an American passenger ship and invited to a house at New York. He accepted the invitation, he was drugged with whisky, and the next thing of which he became con scious was that he was a Federal soldier. He deserted, but was captured, and placed in gaol. If they opened any news paper, and referred to the police-sheet, similar cases would be found. He had seen the case of a man from Hull, who had been taken to an island near New York, no doubt Long Island, where he met with several other Eaglishmen, who had been impressed into the Federal service, and it was complained that those outrages were constantly committed. There was the case of another man who was paid a cheque for £4O, which sum he received from the Ame rican Government, and he was now in General Grant's Federal army. He looked with great concern upon the great emigration at present going on, and he advised the large manufacturers to do their utmost to stop the flow of skilled labour from their several districts. The noble lord then referred to the circumstances that occurred a short time ago in Ireland, and afterwards read extracts from letters written by those who had unfortunately been deluded into quitting England for America, all of whom advised their follow workmen to look with the greatest suspicion upon all inducements to visit the United States at the present moment. It might be that the wages given there would be larger than those iu Eng. land, yet the price of the necessaries of life were so enor mous that the lesser sum earned in England went further than that to be obtained in America. Mr Justice Fitzgerald in a charge ho gave the other day, referred to the terrible frequency with which such acts were committed. Within the last few days the noble lord said some papers with re gard to this question had been presented to the other house, and copies had also been distributed amongst honourable members, and ho advised every hon. member who took an interest in the question to read them, feeling assured that he would get up from the.r perusal with a heart full of sot- Man 16u Sk 1 W .teek goo stook 100 100 100 100 10Q 100 100 100 stook stook 204 so 100 100 stock stock stock stock stock stock s'ont: - all 100 (100 1 100 2 lall . k.lOO Business done. 124 4 1} 2 . ,4 . 1061 7 44 17 11 4 67 a 61 112 k 139 81 91 109 8 10 Busineim don, lon i 1014 2 row. The scene opened very much like a melodrama, only he was sorry to say that the jocose part was very little in deed. The correspondence opened with an account of two rascals. One of them pretended that he was connected with some railway works in America, and the other (who would not be misrepresented by describing his actions as such es would well become the character of an imp of the devil)—(hear, hear) —plotted and made the necessary bargains with the people. He ac cordingly deluded 120 men to leave Ireland on a false representation of the work and the amounf of wages to be paid, but on board the steamer was a man cvNo was almost a match for him. One of the men wore hie hat on the side of his head, and by that means contrived to disguise the fact that he had but one eye until they werO in the middle of the ocean. Now, having but one eye de! not make the man a worse labourer, but it did a worse and on the man Feeney discovering it he abused him very much, showing that his real object was to obtain men for the American army and not for railway works. (Hear, hear.) When the ship arrived in the docks the men were surrounded and dosed with whisky. Many of them were placed in the police cells, and collisions were stated to have occurred between the policemen and the recruiting agents, and in the end several of the men who emigrated found themselves, much against their inclination, in the Federal army. They applied naturally to our consuls for advice and assistance, and a correspondence took place between our consuls and Lord Lyons and the American Governmen`, and also between Lord Lyons and the Foreign-office upon the subject. From that correspondence, which, as he had already said, had been printed, it appeared that emigrants were made drunk, inveigled into the army, and robbed by the recruiting agents of the bounty, so that the sharks who preyed upon them made large profits; and many of the scenes which Mr Consul Lousada witnessed at Boston involuntarily recalled to his mind his experiences in Cuba. It was, however, to be hoped that the publica tion of these facts would check the traffic. (Hear.) It was stated that many of these speculators often cleared 500 dols and more by these transactions. The man Feeney, who took this cargo of slaves out to America, was arrested in Ireland on the charge of endeavouring to enlist men for the Federal army, but he was released because it was thought he produced proper and sufficient proofs that his enterprise was a legitimate one—that of procuring men for a railway undertaking. (Hear.) On the 7th of April, 1861, Consul Murray wrote to Lord Lyons with regard to the men taken out by Feeney, that there could be no doubt there was a systematic attempt to get the men drunk for the purpose of enlisting them. The poor men who left Blackburn under the direction of Ainsworth, whom they first sent out to Canada to see if labour could be found there, it was to be hoped had not shared the same fate, but Ainsworth had turned up in a wretched state at Portland, and his scheme had failed. (Hear.) His object in bringing the subject under the consideration of the house was to warn his fellow-countrymen for the future against these designing agents, and not for the purpose of making any charge against the American Government. On the 3d of May, 1834, Lord Lyons, in a despatch to the Foreign Secretary, stated that the number of British subjects serv ing in the United States army and navy was very, conside rable. IThe most laborious, painful, and unsatisfactory part of his duty since the war had broken out was con nected with the complaints of British subjects, and no pains had been spared by himself or the consuls in inves tigating them, and every effort was made to obtain redress in those cases that were well founded, but in few cases only had their efforts produced any satisfactory results. (Hear, hear.) Major General Dix, the military commandant at New York, had informed the American Secretary to the Navy that almost every imaginable form of fraud, outrage, and dissipation had been developed by the American re cruiting ageota to obtain the recruiting bounty. Boys had been delneed from their homes ; men had been drugged ; and, in short, every artifice and fraud had been resorted to, and men labouring under incurable diseases had been pressed into the service, in order to plunder the American Government of the bounty money. The unfortunate men from this country were deceived and kidnapped in the most scandalous and inhuman man ner in New York. Whilst they were unconscious from drink they were clothed in the uniform of the Federal army, and on coming to their senses they suddenly found themselves absorbed in an army, and called upon to take part in a war the objects of which they were not only igno rant of, but indifferent to its results. The noble lord then further quoted from Lord Lyons's despatches which de picted the horrors of the system in America, and which was corroborated by Major-General Dix; and in one of Lord Lyons's despatchea he stated that British subjects who claimed exemption had, contrary to the general rule, been sent to the army, and many of them had been shot and others wounded pending the inquiry into the justice of their claims, In a war of defence it wos the duty of every man to take up arms in support of his country; but a war of aggression he looked upon as wicked, and those who foisted themselves into it and took part in it did no other than commit murder. It was true there were some men—filibusters or buccaneers—who drew down on them selves a certain amount of approbation from a large portion of mankind ; but he doubted if any right-minded man applauded the conduct of those who joined in it, and thereby prolonged that which every one would wish to see stopped. (Hear, hear.) He had no wish to say anything about the United States Government or army. He cared not what government a country had so long as it protected industry, was just, and gave the necessary amount of pro tection and happiness to its people; and with regard to the American army, and also the Southern army, they had shown themselves to be composed of men whose fighting had not been equalled ; but he could not help thinking that it would be more just towards those bravo men that their numbers should not be added to by men who had nothing to do with the struggle that was now raging in America. (Hear, hear.) It was time that this struggle should cease, and he thought we ought to do everything in our power to prevent those evils being increased by the emigration of our people to America. (Hear.) There were now on both sides widows, sisters, and brothers wishing and crying out, though not so audibly as they could desire, for peace—(hear)—and it was our duty to prevent, as far as we could, any fuel being added to the devouring flame. (Hear.) What was the opinion of the man who was beat com petent to pronounce an opinion upon this subject? Earl Russell, in his despatch to Lord Lyons, dated May 27, 1864, referred to the case of Irishmen enlisted at Portland and Boston for the American army, and said it appeared to her Majesty's Government to be clear, from the reports received from her Majesty's consuls at those ports, that those en. lietments were effected by the most fraudulent schemes, an d contrived and executed in disregard of the neutral rights of Great Britain. It appeared that when they landed at Portland the unfortunate emigrants were plied with drink. They were then dealt with in a manner which made it natural that they should yield to the temp tations and persuasions of the recruiting officers, who obtained access to them by the aid of the police autho rities. Those facts having come to his (Lord E. Howard's) knowledge, - he felt it to be only his duty to bring the ques tion before the house with the view of warning those who might still be seduced into those ruinous engagements. Ho thought that the Secretary for the Colonies might be better able to warn the public generally through the many emigration agents against this abominable system. The right hon. gentleman, he believed, had applied to the agents at Liverpool on the subject, but they said that they could not aid him in his object. He held in his hand a card distributed by those agents, headed "Notice to Emigrants," which, as fa: as it went, was very good and unobjectionable. But at the bottom of it he observed a very significant notice—" Remetetber that in America a dollar is equal to 4s. 2d. English money, and that a cent is equal to one farthing." (Lettjhter.) Now, he thought there ought to be some special yearning to the public in respect to that particular point, inastouch as we all knew that an American dollar was worth nothing like 4a in English money at the present time. It was a mere otees-f tion of humanity to do all they could to prevent some p those poor wretches from enlisting in the United States army, and by doing so to assist in preventing that unneces sary effusion of blood which was a disgrace to humanity. He did not wish to utter any threats, At the same time the United States Government ought to know that our resources were am ple, and that we were in a position to become, if ne cessary, the arbiters of the world. If it were possible he should like the Government to give some expression of opinion upon the subject; but, at all events, he felt certain the Foreign-office would do all that was possible to protect those who had been kidnapped from their native land to take part in a war which was a disgrace to both of the contending parties. Mr LAYARD said the noble lord had done good service in calling attention to the subject of emigration to America. He could not see how many of the difficulties mentioned by the noble lord were to be avoided, but he,advised the greatest caution to be observed by all quitting their native land. The Government had directed the proper authori- ties to do all that was possible to protect Engl;sh emigrants, but at the sa:ne time he hoped that those parties who went to America, because it was idle to suppose that emigration could be stopped, to exercise the greatest discretion. The emigration officers, the node lord might rest assured, would do all in their power to prevent unfair practices, but he felt certain that blame was not to be attributed to the Ame rican Government. He would willingly give the papers the noble lord desired. Mr P. HENNESS Y, seeing the Secretary for Ireland in his place, wished to know whether the emigration from Cork, to enlist in the American army, present time to the same extent as it wa s at the beginning g of the year ? was going on.at the rea test importance I%lr LINDSAY said it was of the that extreme caution should be exercised by emigrants. The present value of the American dollar was certainly not 4s. 2d. To show the extent of the horror .i of the pre sen t struggle and the sacrifice o f human life, t was said th a t up the 30th of June upwa rds of a million lives have been already lost. Sir H. PEEL, in reply to the hen and learned member, said a proclamation h ad been issued by the Lord Li eu t enan t, eff,ectkthe r e tide being o made to make all emigration from which h nd he . parties well acqu ainted with the state ' of affairs in America, h T o h p e e d arts w After a f ew words , from Mr P.

Wilde and a Jury.) EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE OF CRUELTY AGAINST, AND COUNTEhCHARGE OF ADULTERY BY, A HLSBAND- BANCROFT ♦. BANCROFT. This was a suit instituted by the wife of the respondent, a person carrying on a respectable business at Manchester, for a judicial separation on the ground of her husband's cruelty by kicking and knocking her about. The respondent denied the cruelty, and also added on the record a plea that his wife had been guilty of an incestuous intercourse with her brother in the law, the husband of her sister, a Mr Win. Rumney. The parties had been married as recently as April, 1556, and, as stated by the judge, she committed a great fraud on her husband by representing a child then 12 years of age as her niece, when in fact it was her own illegitimate child by the husband of her aunt. This led to the cruelty complained of. She left her husband's home, and refused to return on any account, and took these proceedings, when, for the first time, the charges of her adultery wore brought forward, and were characterised as a conspiracy on the part of the respondent to relieve himself from supporting his wife. The case commenced on Saturday, occupied the whole of yesterday, and the greater portion of to-day, resulting in the jury retiring, and after a lengthened discus sion, returning a verdict that the respondent had been guilty of the cruelty alleged, and that his counter charge of adultery had not been proved. Decree nisi for judicial separation. There is a cross suit for dissolution of marriage by rea son of the wife's adultery, but as the facts alleged are the same as these decided by the jury, it will not be proceeded with.
